It constantly amazes me that so many people in the metal community bash the genre of metalcore. It is understandable that certain groups can attain a bad image for the genre with more breakdowns than a vintage Chevy, vocals that could rival the majesty of a castrated cat and a general "what the fuck are they doing" sense of artistic direction leading many to stereotype metalcore as the black sheep of modern metal. But maybe, thanks to this very band, that might change for good.

To be honest I'd rather they made as much use out of the 80-min capacity of CDs as they can - given that they're usually the same price, I'd rather get an album with 60+min of material than on the short end of 40. And I personally love the album enough to listen through it front to back on a near-daily basis at the moment, but I'm happy enough to admit I'm borderline fanboy with this band.

Excellent album, and one of the strongest releases of the year thus far. That is saying a lot because this has been a year of great releases by both known and unknown bands. The one problem I have is that the album is a tad long. Having said that, it is still an excellent record and one I'm thoroughly enjoying months after its release.

The vocals are really a huge minus, and the length of the cd aswell. But overall, it's oceans better than their last effort, which was mediocre at best. (Ok, it mediocre in a good way, but the 'been there done that' feeling was way too strong.)

I see length being a huge thing with most people. While I agree that the album is a bit long, it is definitely consistent throughout, which is no small feat. One of the better releases this year, no doubt.

Thank you.

You wanted them made visible, and now look what has happened. You've doomed us all.
